The Lakers are an interesting fit, but it’s surprising to see them above the Houston Rockets, who seem likely to be Philadelphia’s biggest competition. The idea of playing alongside James Harden and Chris Paul has to be appealing, and while the Lakers are a team on the rise, it would seem that James joining a playoff team is more likely at this point.

As you can see, there’s a big dropoff from the top-four teams who are all +350 or better, down to the Boston Celtics at +1000 and San Antonio Spurs at +1200.
